Flatiron District (New York City, New York)

 neighbourhood, draw only border

The Flatiron District is a small area in the Midtown area of the New York City borough of Manhattan, and is named after the Flatiron Building at 23rd Street, Broadway and Fifth Avenue.

Generally the Flatiron District can be said to be bounded by 20th Street, Union Square and Greenwich Village to the south; the Avenue of the Americas (Sixth Avenue) or Seventh Avenue and Chelsea to the west; 25th Street and NoMad to the north; Rose Hill to the northeast, and Lexington Avenue/Irving Place, Gramercy Park to the east.

Broadway cuts through the middle of the district, and Madison Avenue begins at 23rd Street and runs north. At the north (uptown) end of the district is Madison Square Park, which was completely renovated in 2001. The Flatiron District encompasses within its boundaries the Ladies' Mile Historic District and the birthplace of Theodore Roosevelt, a National Historic Site. The Flatiron District is part of New York City's Manhattan Community Board 5.

The Flatiron Building itself, while not nearly as impressive in height as its neighbors, is notable for its triangular shape. This design was necessitated by the angle of the land that is created by the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Broadway.
